Photo: Chicken Piccata Recipe
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 1 pound chicken breasts, sliced thin and pounded into cutlets
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 1 lemon, halved crosswise and seeds removed
- 2 teaspoons capers
Sauce:
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup hot chicken broth
Directions
Shake flour, salt and pepper in a plastic bag. Add chicken pieces in batches to coat. Heat butter over medium heat in a skillet and brown each side of the coated chicken. Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the chicken and add capers. Remove to a platter and set aside in a warm place.
To the same pan add butter for the sauce and mix with flour to make a roux. Gradually add chicken broth and allow thickening. Strain sauce, if desired, and serve spooned over chicken.

I made this tonight for a friend and myself. It was very good. I did use bottled lemon juice and instant chicken bouillon instead of fresh. If I had to critique my own dish, I'd say that I probably overcooked the chicken. Also, my sauce turned out very thick so I had to thin it out with additional chicken broth. This dish was very easy and fast to prepare. Thank you Chef Robert for sharing your recipes!

I made this for my family and they loved it! The sauce is very good.
I would suggest in using low sodium chicken broth and and 1 1/2 cups of broth not 1/2 cup
as written in the recipe.
Very easy to make and very fast..
Thanks Robert for a new great dish.

having never made a roux before i started with some fear but this recipe made it easy. I did has suggested and used more stock then called for but i also made the sauce thinner so i could simmer the chicken for a little while. By doing this the chicken soaks up more flavor and the capers become very soft so that they were hardly noticed by my picky eaters. This has now become an instant hit at my house
